The Central Vigilance Commission, CVC today said that media reports stating that its official data stored online about corrupt officials was lost or deleted are totally misleading and incorrect.
The probity watchdog said it was in the process of switching over from an old portal to one utilising a cloud-based server and the migration of data was taking time.
The Commission in a statement clarified that it has not lost any data on corrupt officials or any such information relating to its anti-corruption activities and its vital functions.
Some sections of the media reported that the CVC portal was not functioning for about four months and the hard disk of CVC’s portal crashed on November 28th and the data stored online till that date has been lost and there is no backup available.
The watchdog said, the portal utilising a cloud-based server is fully operational but the migration of data is taking some time. It said, the new online portal is operational since November 2016 and is fully functional for citizens and public to lodge complaint of corruption with respect to public servants. The CVC said complete data and information related to all actionable complaints is available in its files and records.
